Follow Dad's advice and get a good oral surgeon. They specialize in this, while dentist can do it but don't specialize in it. You will look like a chipmunk for a few days. Also, he is right about once you start college there will never, ever, be a "good" time to do it. Just do it, if they are impacted.
I had mine out one at a time over about 15 years. Only one was impacted...but when they came in, they moved my other teeth around and that was not a good thing.
If you have a great big mouth with lots of room, maybe you won't ever have to do it. But if you don't....just do it.
